(The Hosting News) – Corero Network Security (LSE: CNS), a leading provider of First Line of Defense® security solutions against DDoS attacks, today announced that Los Angeles Dedicated (LAD), a cloud and Infrastructure-as-a-Service provider with a strong focus on the gaming industry, has deployed the Corero SmartWall® Threat Defense System (TDS) with SecureWatch® Analytics. With the Corero solutions in place, LAD has eliminated service disruptions caused by the continuous and escalating nature of DDoS attacks against its hosted gaming companies.

LAD faced the same challenge many hosting providers of scale encounter – if one of its customers was targeted by a significant DDoS attack, this would affect network connectivity for all customers. Prior to Corero, the company fended off attacks manually via homegrown solutions.
